Every woman must experience the change that occurs when ovulation and menstruation stop. At this point a woman is going through menopause and child-bearing is done. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels decrease. The decrease in these hormones effects the reproductive organs, as well as other parts of the body. Common discomforts include hot flashes, dry skin, anxiety, bloating, headaches, insomnia, mood swings, night sweats, weight gain, and decrease in libido.
